The guitar is tuned E A D G B E from the low strings to the highest. You can also tune to D which would be lowering the bottom E string to D. There are more too.

What is a yotar?
A Yotar is a simplified guitar with only 4 notes, not 6 as in the standard guitar. It uses just E B G D notes. I have never used or seen one, but the book I have with information about it says you have to use a 12 string guitar and it appears you tune it with three strings each tuned to same note. The strings are of different gauge, so the high E would have a 20 gauge and a 9 or 10 gauge string for the next two. The E notes on the high strings would be in two octaves. The B notes would be on the next three strings and those would all be in the same octave and about the same gauge. The G notes on the next three strings would be over two octaves and use one 44 gauge string and two that are 23 to 26 gauge. The top three strings are all tuned to D and are again over two octaves and have two 32 gauge strings and one 13-16. The book says you need a 12 string guitar as the pressure is very great on the neck at concert pitch tuning, what ever that is. The Yotar is supposed to produce a very big sound and be good for sing a longs where maybe a normal guitar would not be loud enough.

What are the notes for the strings on the guitar?
The conventional tuning for acoustic (and electric guitar) is (starting with the bass string): E A D G B E Apart from the G/B strings, you can get the next string note by holding the fifth fret of any string; so the note of the fifth fret of E is A, of A is D, of D is G.

Do an guitar have strings?
Yes. There are two kinds of strings - nylon strings for the classical style of guitar, and steel string for the acoustic and also the electric guitar. It is most common for guitars to have 6 strings, with the lowest toned string at the top of the guitar (when held in playing position). There are, however, 12 stringed guitars, where each of the 6 strings has another string next to it which is tuned an octave higher than its counterpart. This gives a very full, lush sound, such as the sound of the acoustic guitar in The Eagles song, "Hotel California" or in David Bowie's "Space Oddity".

how many strings do sting instruments usually have?
String instruments usually have anywhere from 1 to 12 strings, depending on the specific instrument. Here are the typical numbers of strings for some common string instruments: Violin: The violin has four strings tuned to the pitches G, D, A, and E. Viola: The viola also has four strings, but they are tuned to the pitches C, G, D, and A. The viola is slightly larger than the violin and has a lower range. Cello: The cello has four strings as well, but they are tuned one octave lower than the viola: C, G, D, and A. The cello is larger than both the violin and viola and produces a deeper and richer sound. Double Bass: The double bass typically has either four strings or five strings. The standard tuning for the four-string double bass is E, A, D, and G, similar to the lowest four strings of a guitar. Some double basses, especially those used in orchestras, may have a low C extension, adding a fifth string tuned to C. Guitar: Guitars can have six strings or twelve strings. The standard six-string guitar is tuned to E, A, D, G, B, and E, from low to high. Twelve-string guitars have double strings for each note, creating a fuller and richer sound. Please note that these are general guidelines, and there may be variations or exceptions for specific types of string instruments.

How do you play chords on a guitar?
Typically, the 6 string guitar is tuned on the notes EADGBE. If you strum across those strings without touching the fretboard you would have a Em7sus chord. Building the chord, we have root (E) 3rd (G) 5th (B) 7th (D) and the added 4 (A) which is a suspension note. To make other chords, you learn the theory of how to make a chord and then use your fingers to press down and change the open strings to something else that fits the chord that you are trying to make. Get a guitar chord chart and use that but it would help you tremendously to learn the theory to understand why each chord is what it is.
